Clients and Editors Say…
“We love having you write for us! You do awesome work.”
Kendra Brown, OWL Magazine
“Working with you is always worry-free from an editor’s standpoint.
You come through with interesting, relevant anecdotes and well-researched articles
time and time again! It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Julia Slater, Reader’s Digest
“Lisa, your story queries are always a bright spot in my otherwise fairly
boring inbox. Your story ideas are written with a sense of humour but always
with the sense that I'm going to get valuable service in the piece. What's
better, you don't just give good query. When your finished piece comes in it's
exactly what I had hoped you were going to write – not something that
happens all the time with other writers! I look forward to your next piece
and, as always, those bright spots in my inbox!”
Jennifer Walker, CARP magazine for the 50Plus
“Lisa has an uncanny knack for knowing how to take a sometimes relatively vague idea from a client like me and fleshing it out into a full-fledged article, one that uses just the type of style and tone we were going for. She's great at maintaining a consistent voice from article to article. Her writing is clear, concise and accessible. We're always happy to show off her work to our clients!”
Lily J. Mills, Novus Health
“You always find interesting sources and pithy anecdotes to bring life
to your stories. Plus, you’re on time and always open to suggestions – it’s
a pleasure to work with you.”
Laura Bickle, Today’s Parent
“I can always count on you for interesting and unique pitches. But the
best part is, the stories are always right on target with great quotes. It’s
a pleasure to have a writer like you who delivers every time.”
Robin Stevenson, Canadian Family
“Everyone who reads this story loves it – from editor-in-chief to proofreader. Thanks for doing such a great job in such a short time.”
Arlene Stacey, Zoomer
“Thank you again for doing this story. You did an amazing job… I'm so impressed with the feature and the amount of information you gave readers.”
Lisa Hannam, Glow Magazine
“Thank you for submitting such a well-written and well-researched article! I found it remarkably easy to edit and fact-check – and it was engaging and interesting to read in the bargain! I really had very little to do. It was a joy to edit. It’s such a pleasure to work with someone who is (clearly) passionate about the written word – and about clear and concise communication.”
Sandi Gauvin, Alive
“Thank you very much for writing it for us; you’ve
had the whole office weeping!”
Kathy Ullyott, Canadian Living
“Thank you for your excellent work on the “Amazing Newborns” story.
Your research is thorough, the tone is engaging and the practical information
that will matter to new parents is well presented – and all on time!
It's a pleasure to work with such a competent writer. You make my job easy!”
Susan Spicer, Today's Parent Special Editions
“Your work is professional, accurate, consumer
friendly and on time. You take great direction and are a pleasure to work with.”
Paul Riopelle, MediResource Inc.
“Thanks, Lisa. It’s
perfect for us! You have a lovely, fluid writing style, while incorporating
all the necessary information.”

you did an excellent job!”
